The First Heir

By then, Martha’s friends had noticed Philip. They snorted out and mocked, “Martha, is that your son-in-law? He looks really plain and so absentminded, like a blockhead. Your daughter is so pretty, she must have been blind to marry him!”

“Yeah, such a useless man is a disgrace to us elders. Thankfully my son-in-law is not like him.”

The group of elders started laughing in mockery.

Martha’s cheeky smile earlier was now completely gone. She snorted. “That wretched piece of trash is not my son-in-law. In a few days, I’ll have my daughter divorce him!”

Aiden smiled widely as he looked at the older folks, enjoying how everyone had their eyes on him. He cleared his throat and said, “Don’t worry, everyone, my dad knows the boss of this finance company. I’ve already given my dad a call, so I’m sure there will be answers too.
